Shangri-La Hotel, at the Shard, London, Debuts Summer Gin Terrace

Shangri-La Hotel, at the Shard, London’s Bar 31 and Tanqueray Gin have debuted a new gin-themed garden terrace. Open from Wednesday, July 24 through to the end of September, Tanqueray will offer a citrus-inspired gin cocktail menu at Bar 31, which has been transformed into a floral garden complete with paper lanterns, wild flowers, warm glowing lights and plenty of fresh herbs and plants.

Featured on the menu will be Tanqueray No. TEN, Tanqueray Rangpur, Tanqueray Lovage and Tanqueray Flor De Sevilla. Menu highlights include the Royal Blush cocktail made with Tanqueray No. TEN, rhubarb, lemonade and fresh raspberries and the Lovage cocktail, which mixes Tanqueray Lovage with Fever -Tree Tonic, coriander and Juniper berries. Guests can choose from a range of bold botanicals and garnishes to bring out the fresh aromas of the gin.

Picnic benches and comfortable outdoor seating fill the open-air terrace creating a casual and relaxed vibe to enjoy a summer drink. To complement the new Tanqueray cocktail menu, the team at Bar 31 has launched a picnic box for two, filled with half a roast chicken, Cornish Yarg Cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy, freshly made sourdough bread from Bread Ahead, piccalilli, salad and a homemade hummus.
